Preparing the Die Head to Thread

Lower the die head down into the threading position.
Firmly push up on the cam locking plate handle to cock/ -
close the die head (Figure 16).
• When adjusted for tapered threads, the release foot will
latch in toward the pipe, and the spherical surface on
the cam locking plate will rest on the sine bar.
• When adjusted for straight threads, the release handle
will engage the notch in the cam lock plate. The die
head will not touch the sine bar.
